Trust

Trust is such a fragile thing,
  once it is broken, it is hard to rebuild.
Sometimes we fail to see
  you beside us, and we withdraw it.
Take it back to us and say,
  you were not there, you left.
The truth is much harder to bear,
  that we failed to recognize you there.
Right beside us, underneath us,
  over us, around us, surrounding us,
Holding us so we might know
  the hurt, the fall, and realize you there.
